Plex.. am I missing something? How do I install it ?

Hi guys I must be missing something I am on 7.2.1 I think Apple TV 2, and I cannot seem to find the icon for app store on my apple tv, is app store only going to show up in the US or how is this supposed to work? pictures would be great so I can see if I am just missing it or it is really not there. Thanks !

What you need is two pieces. Plexconnect and then Plex Media Server. Both can run on the same computer. You then add a profile to your AppleTV so that it hijacks the 'trailers' app and points it to plexconnect. More info can be found here> https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide

First Plex is system consisting of a media sever and client app! The media sever serves your media to clients apps. Server runs on computers and now modern NAS boxes like Synology Play NAS boxes Or Qnap Certain NAS boxes. The run the client software on the On App Store and connect to sever software running on your Network.

The feeling seems mutual for the 3rd gen as well. Glad to see it intsall changed

Can't imagine they'd have sold many aTV4 if the App Store was made available on earlier devices. Let's be honest, it doesn't offer that much more and I would have probably stuck with my aTV3 (with optical out) if it had an App Store.

I have a Apple TV 4 and its amazing! Sold my AppleTV3 right before the 4 was announce! got the new one! I use it for Plex and Infuse! kicks ass!!!! Kids use it for games and Nickolodian and all the other stuff! Cant beat it!!!

If you've got a cable box, or other gear like a Blu-ray player that you want to control, and don't want a pile of remotes, the IR port is quite necessary.

I personally have stopped using my harmony, in favor of using apple's remote all the time, but eventing I watch is on the aTV, (except for amazon , which I drag out that remote to watch directly on the TV)
